congrats on your first hang. Its so satisfying to make your own gear isn't it?

One thing I noticed that you might be missing is a pillow (or some clothes that you don’t use) under your knees. It will add a lot of comfort to your lay.

Thanks! I think I might try that; sounds like it would be very comfortable!

To answere question 1. You probably need to hang the foot end slightly higher than the head end...by about 3 or 4 inches. This keeps you from sliding down into the foot area. It seems counter intuitive but it realy is more comfortable.

Thanks for the advice; that makes a lot of sense!
